Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Human papillomavirus (HPV) causes the most common sexually transmissible infection worldwide and is associated with benign and malignant lesions of the ano-genital and head-and-neck regions. The development of HPV vaccines is a success story, leading to marked reductions in the incidence of cervical uterine lesions. However, multiple questions regarding HPV prevention remain unanswered, including which strategies might successfully implement vaccination across culturally heterogeneous communities, the extent of its efficacy in preventing specific lesions, how vaccines might be combined with other preventive strategies, and the potential therapeutic efficacy of HPV vaccines against established lesions. This Special Issue welcomes all kinds of contributions, including original research and review articles, on topics related to HPV prevention and vaccination. We expect this Special Issue to be an opportunity to advance scientific knowledge in this field and encourage more effective HPV approaches.
